Making hard work of this set but if we can win it out I’d say the temperamental Johnny Foreigner will crumble and the third will be a formality.
Limerick 2-0 up
Into the first round. Well done Ireland and a victory for the administration of tennis on this island.
The Limerick man has qualified for Wimbledon.

The Frank Erwin Centre in Texas is bouncing as we go into the deciding set between Feliciano Lopez and Mardy Fish in the Davis Cup.

Rocko, could we please get live updates from the Irish Davis Cup tie this weekend?
Ireland lost the doubles game today, so they are now 2-1 down in the tie. We need to win both singles tomorrow or we’re gone.
America and Spain are in action tonight in the doubles. The U.S. have to win this game.
The Bryan brothers are the U.S. equivalent of Jedward. Pair of mongs. :rolleyes:
We fucking did it!!!
We survived!
Conor Niland & Barry King.
Magnificent scenes yesterday. I hope all TFK members in attendance enjoyed it.
Another Masters title for Djokovic. The man is a machine this year.
Novak looks unstoppable for the US open this year.
Murray leading Novak 2-0 in the first set of the final in Cincinatti.
Djokovic retires injured a set down and 3-0 down in the second. Wonder if this will impact on him in New York much. Murray will never have a better opportunity to win a major championship anyway, Nadal seems to be off the boil, Federer looks finished and now there will be doubts over Novak with this injury.
Yeah, I’d agree with that. Djokovic is definitely favourite of course. It’s hard to know the extent of the injury, but tennis players don’t want to be fucking around with their shoulders. The other occasion on which Murray won in Cincy was 2008 when he also got to the final in Flushing Meadows. I’d make him second favourite for the tournament at the moment. Should be a more open Grand Slam than usual I think. As you say, Fed and Nadal not looking great. The likes of Tsonga and Fish will fancy a long run I’d say.
Has the draw being made for this Braz?
Fish seems to have had a good run against Nadal of late and if they were to meet in New York I think he could put the greatest out. How has Del Potro being playing recently?
Pretty poorly, Cilic and Fed have beaten him fairly comfortably in the last two events. I expected that he would have refound his form by now, it’s a bit disappointing. Perhaps he will need a full season to get back to where he was.
Draw is generally made around Thursday or Friday I think.
Conor Niland is flying again and only a game away from qualifying for his 2nd successive Grand Slam. He won his last match in straight sets and out again today in the final qualifying round.
